Request for proper terminology please

Hello DFDL community,

In the below graphic, am I using the correct terminology (for the underlined part)? Is it "local declaration" or is it "local attribute" or something else?  /Roger

That's considered the "short form" property binding syntax. There's also
"element form" and "attribute form", but those are quite as common. I
think the correct term instead of "local declaration" is "short form
property annotation".

Section 7.1.2.X of the DFDL spec discribes the different forms property
bindings:
